Kind of Blue [Remaster] by Miles Davis

Pros: Perfect jazz!
Cons: Alternate Flamenco Sketches Take

I've enjoyed playing jazz for quite a while, and when I put my saxophone away after high school, I felt myself longing once again to hear that old familiar jazz beat. I'd heard of many jazz artists in my time, but lacked the knowledge of their music...

Pros: Everything. This is the ONLY absolutely perfect record on this planet
Cons: as i said, the ONLY one of its kind...

Looking back, I can see myself as a 'before & after' case study. I wasn't a sucker for jazz. Growing up on usual doses of rock and metal doesn't leave much room for imagination – an extremely crucial ingredient if you want to enjoy this music called...

Pros: One of the greatest jazz albums ever
Cons: None!!

This album is often considered one of the classics in Jazz literature. I have to agree. Miles Davis was always an innovator in the jazz world from the late 50s to the late 70s. From cool jazz to modal, third stream, and electronic, Miles was there,...

Pros: A forward-looking, innovative and simple work of 20th Century art
Cons: N/A

There's no better place to start listening to and appreciating modern jazz than right here at "Kind of Blue." As a matter of fact, I'm going to go put it on right now to get myself in the mood. Oh yeah, I put the CD player on auto-return for...

Pros: Corrected Pitch
Cons: None

Miles' solo on So What is one of the most popular studying material for jazz students. When I first learned his solo, I was constantly frustrated with the pitch of the recording. This remastered issue corrected that problem!

This solo is...

Pros: fits to any mood you are in..
Cons: wish it could of been a continious flow between tracks

Ever since I was a kid my dad played Miles Davis at night. I would sit in my bed and fall asleep the to soothing sounds of his horn. I at times I would feel as though his horn was playing for me, its ever note would pour out how I feel at that exact same...

Pros: Great improvisation and great ensemble playing. This is a great album to listen to seriously, or play softly in the background, it is so versatile.
Cons: It doesn't have my favorite Miles sideman, Chick Corea.

No other musician has displayed the adaptability of Miles Davis. He has spanned so many different genres within jazz, that his recordings are essential for any student of the music. But, just because they are essential, does that mean they are good?...

Cons: Only one bonus track

Miles Davis' 'Kind Of Blue' is a milestone recording in jazz, no less historically important to it's genre than the Beatles' 'Sgt. Pepper' is to rock or Marvin Gaye's 'What's Goin On' to R&B. Chances are if you are a jazz enthusiast, this album...
